Ok so just to let you know I have personally put a cooltube in this tent and verifys it will fit however other people who have bought then tent have not been able to get 6" hosing through it, I have they haven't I dunno I they are stupid or the tents are different that are now getting shipped out but if your running cfl or t5 you should be find with some 4" fans which are cheaper than 6" and you can buy 4" duct hosing at almost anywhere that would sell dryer hosing , but I have been successful putting a 6" cooltube up top

Yea I live in an apartment now so I will be running T5 all the way and be accompanied by CFLs unless I am able to pick up like a 250 watt hps for dirt cheep, depends when j have money but I think ima do flurocesnt all the way to show people you can pull off awsome shit, I wish I had a net up in there but funds are just so low right now

oh hell yeah. ive always wondered about t5s all the way. i made a net but had to take it down. i just used string that i weaved and pvc to outline everything. or even chicken wire is pretty cheap. it might be good for the t5s since the light doesnt reach far. and with a screen you can make a nice even canopy and get more coverage closer to the lights. that was my plan but i had another plant that i had to move the strings to place it in there

yeah thats probably the way to go for cheapness. i would just try to some how make the screen and pot(s) move together. it would be a hassle if you couldnt move your plants around to water or something

So dank after research the t5 is 196 watts plus the 2 23 watt that equals 242 watts and the difference between the 250 hps is 8 watts, the t5 spread over a bigger area and there fore heat is spread the t5 also would have the ballast inside the hps would have more direct heat in one area but that would be easier to control with a fan blowing the heat straight to the scrubber so in conclusion I think a 250 would work what u think on this, I have ran 600 watts and those temps are 120 with a thermometer right under them

yeah you get more coverage with the t5s like in your tent it seems like there is maybe an inch or less on the sides of the t5 structure which is nice you have the most light coverage. wth a hps i personally might do 2 150s with a cool tube if needed. maybe one cooltube depending on how hot it gets. you get more coverage. dont know much about hps' so dont know if you would need two ballasts or just one for the two lights. is there not a cooltube on the 600w?

thanks man shes almost ready for harvest. im still thinking if i wanna feed her one more time tonight or start to flush her tonight. will probably feed her haha

Huckelberry- its just one 125w cfl on her right now that i got off the internet. its a dual spectrum but there is a little more daylight then coollight. the only problem with this is you get less coverage because half the bulb is facing up. atleast i feel that way.

I was thinking bout 2 150 watts butt I don't think a cool tube would be needed, and I sold both 600 watts and got 80% of my money back for what I paid for them after running them for around 4 grows so I came up. And there is only one way to find out with the hps and that is to go out n get one
